the rims are 16x8 and the tires are 255/85-r16, i wanted the 285/75 but they rubbed hella bad on the upper a-arm and i wasnt going to shave it, so i went with these

The rims are AMP Ultra's from Les Schwab and the Tires are Maxxis Bighorns that are suprizing to me how quiet and smooth they are compared to my old BFG m/t's and they are close to a 33-11.50 tire

Here is the pics

not that bad, i dont think im going to regear, the money to regear isnt worth it to me. still pulls hard up hills and does fine. have put like 70 miles on it in the last 2 days and it has done great, and makes bombing fireroads much more enjoyable

Good stuff. I've got the 3" Toytec spring lift on my 99 and I dig it so far. I've been trying to wear out my tires so I can go bigger. Still haven't decided what I'm putting on though. The Maxxis tires look good
